Strange Religious Patterns

Its one hot Tuesday afternoon, 12.45pm, 15 min before the lecture is adjourned for lunch break. Margret isn’t patient enough to wait for the class to be dismissed, so she excuses herself and leaves, destination-CHURCH! Welcome to the religious world in campus

I am a Christian and I understand very well that we have the right to worship anywhere and at anytime but I am not quite familiar with this worshiping pattern in my campus. When you talk of a Tuesday afternoon to most campus students, their minds quickly shift to the great’ Terrific Tuesday’ going down at pizza inn and certainly not church

Now this is where a thick line is drawn between two groups,’ the saved’ and the ‘unsaved’. Am not trying to criticize the Christian Union (C.U) member s on their faith but this is where they go against the Bible’s teachings. The definition of a Christian according to a C.U member, are the likes of Margret, people who go to church seven days a week. Where the hell in the Bible is such a thing even stated? This is also where they call people like us /we go to church only on Sundays/ who engage in worldly things the entire week as Christian wannabes.

I don’t agree with them that going to church daily makes me a saint or rather, a Christian. Christianity depends on how strong your faith is i.e. in your heart. Going to church is only a bonus for you to get the teachings and how to maintain that faith plus also how to strengthen it. This clearly shows that it is not a must for you to be in church daily.

So for the C.U members who are so into discriminating people like me and calling us non-Christians, don’t choke on the sauce! First understand your religion well and its norms then we can now give you room to judge us. Religious world in campus would be more fun this way.
